The mirror acrylic topper (rose gold, gold, silver, black, white) is the premium choice for wedding cakes and luxury events: flawless finish, maximum shine, durability to hold on tiered cakes. The laser-cut wood topper adds a natural and warm touch, perfect for rustic ceremonies, bohemian weddings, or enchanted forest birthdays. The glitter topper on rigid cardboard is the ultimate festive option: bright colors, gold or holographic glitter, ideal for children's birthdays, baby showers, and school parties. The personalized printed topper (cardboard or plastic) allows adding name, age, date, or custom message. For professional cake designers, our toppers are calibrated with sturdy picks that easily insert into fondant, buttercream, or ganache without tearing or slipping.

For a children's birthday topper, favor themed models: unicorn, dinosaur, pirate, princess, superhero, animals. Glitter numbers (from 1 to 100) are timeless classics. For a wedding topper, elegant models in mirror acrylic or wood personalized with the couple's names and date immediately set the tone for a high-end event. For a baby shower topper or gender reveal, "It's a boy / it's a girl," "Oh baby," or baby figures in pastel pink/blue/yellow are safe choices. For adult milestone birthdays (30, 40, 50, 60 years), rose gold acrylic numbers or "Happy Birthday" messages in gold wood add a premium touch. For corporate events or company anniversaries, personalized toppers with logo or company name turn a standard cake into a communication tool. Combine these toppers with your layer cake or cake design supplies for complete compositions.

Place the topper at the last moment, ideally at the client's location or event venue, to prevent it from tilting during transport. For a heavily decorated cake or with fondant reliefs, first locate the exact center of the top with a thin toothpick, then insert the topper with a quick vertical motion. On a layer cake covered with buttercream, wait until the outer layer has firmed up in the fridge for 30 minutes before placing, otherwise the topper will leave a mark as it sinks in. For tiered cakes (wedding cakes), always place the topper on the top tier only, never between tiers. For personalized acrylic toppers with metal picks, check that the pick length matches your cake height (a pick that is too short will tip over). For delivery, transport toppers separately from the cake in a dedicated cake box and place them on site.

Are cake toppers edible?
No, the vast majority of our toppers (acrylic, wood, cardboard, plastic) are decorative elements to be removed before serving the cake. They are not food-safe and their picks are made of plastic or metal. For edible decorations to integrate into the cake, check out our edible prints and fondant decorations.

What topper size should I choose based on the cake diameter?
Simple rule: the topper should be between 60% and 80% of the cake's width for a balanced look. For an 18 cm round cake, choose a topper 12-14 cm wide. For a 22 cm cake, a topper 15-17 cm wide. For tiered wedding cakes, size the topper relative to the top tier only, not the base. Avoid toppers that are too small (visually lost) or too large (risk of tipping or breaking the decoration).

Can I personalize a cake topper with a name and date?
Yes, several of our acrylic and wood toppers are customizable on order with name, age, event date, or short message. Production time varies by model (usually 5-10 business days). Check the product page for personalization options, available fonts, maximum text lengths, and deadlines. For professional bulk orders (multiple weddings, recurring events), contact us for tailored conditions.

How do I clean or reuse a cake topper?
Acrylic and wood toppers can be cleaned with warm soapy water using a soft cloth, then dried immediately. Avoid dishwashers which can discolor mirror acrylic and warp wood. Glitter cardboard toppers are not washable and are single-use. To preserve premium acrylic toppers between uses, store them in their original packaging or a plastic pouch to prevent scratches.
